I stayed 1 night during a business trip. Nice quiet clean hotel. Good breakfast. River view. Free internet and free parking in front of the hotel. Minuses: only 1 elevator (for 3-4 pax) for 5 floors - you had to wait for many minutes before it comes and there was almost no air inside..Also in the corridors it was hard to breath. Old TV and bit old fashioned bed.

Room Tip: lower floor - so you can take stairs and don't have to wait for elevator..

I stayed here on a business trip for three nights as we had a conference at the university, and location wise this hotel is fantastic. You are literally right across the road and a walk through a small park until you get to the railway station. From this station you can (cheaply) hop on a train to Florence or Pisa for flights, or even just for leisure. Reaching it is no problem at all because of this.

Also in terms of location, as you are so central it's no issue at all going somewhere to eat. One night we went into Prato and as there are lots of restaurants you have a lot of choice, the other night we actually ate in Florence and got the late train back. Also near lots of street bars, or you can sit outside the hotel in the chairs they have on the pavement.

however, this hotel is not your typical 4*. That said, it's not quite as rubbish as some people have reviewed (if it's the most rubbish you have ever staying in, as one person put it, you clearly havent stayed in a very wide range of hotels...).

The hotel and rooms are basic and fit for purpose. They are not large at all (this is typical on the continent) but are very well air conditioned (which you need) and have an adequate bathroom with shower in. There is a desk but this was too small for me to work on, but a large window that opens up fully.

My room overlooked the canal which runs through the centre and it was a lovely view looking towards the Tuscan hills - beautiful at sunrise. The area can get a little noisy at times on the road, especially late at night and early in the morning where they empty the large bins which are outside the front of the hotel.

Breakfast is fine...your usual suspects for the continental breakfast. The room where you eat is fairly small, however, and the coffee isn't so nice (tip - I wouldn't necessarily bother getting any out of the machine!!). When the breakfast room is quite full it's difficult to move around, but other than that no issues.

The hotel was clean, and I always had clean towels. The mini bar in your room is a fortune so be warned - don't think it's free and I'd go elsewhere to the little supermarket round the corner if you want to buy water etc.

All in all this is an 'okay' hotel, fit for purpose, possibly not a 4* no but certainly not the worst 4* around. You live a sheltered life if you think that. It's great location wise, and if you are there just to sleep (like most people are) then if absolutely fine and great.

Stayed in Prato for 5 days and this hotel was great. Centrally located near the train station and near the town center. Service was great. Wifi / general services from reception were great as well. Only thing is that the breakfast isn't included which wasn't really a bummer for me but overall comfortable.

Location is good, quit close to train station. The reception staffs were not friendly, and cannot understand English very well. I asked him if there was free breakfast, but he asked me if I needed breakfast right now (it was evening then.). After that, I repeated my question, he answered "Of course." Finally, when we checked out, they charged us 8 euro per person for each breakfast.The room condition was even not better than 2 star B & B, and the size of the room was too small.

Dear Guest,

We are really astonished for what you have reported in your comment, reviews of our staff are usually very positive and gratifying.Many of our Clients are foreigner and we all can understand and speak english fluently, so probably it has been an unpleasant misunderstanding for which we are deeply sorry.

Hoping you will give us another chance to host you, we send our best regards.

This hotel is located at walking distance from the rail station and old downtown. I stayed there to use as a hub to visit Florence and Siena.

We were travelling by car in Italy and decided to stay outside of Florence instead of dealing with parking. The Art Milano Hotel had easy street parking and was a few blocks from the train taking us to Florence. The hotel itself was fine with a clean lobby and a clean room, nice balcony that had a nice view of the river that ran by the hotel. The breakfast was fine--all the usual hot and cold items on the buffet. The only thing is the room was not warmly decorated--kind of institutional as though I was having a meal in a hospital cafeteria. Front desk was fine although we tried to negotiate a better price and they wouldnt budge on price. Sent us to an amazing restaurant for dinner which we returned to the following night it was so good. Also, the trains to Florence were frequent and we did get to downtown Florence in just 20 minutes.

Ok...the front desk and staff were so nice but this place was so depressingly bad. It smelled, the blanket and pillows were older than I am and the carpet stained. Just drive through.

Dear Guest,We are deeply sorry and astonished to realize you have a so bad opinion regarding our hotel, even because, as you can see in other reviews, fortunately, it is not the general opinion!

Allow us to disappoint: our hotel do not bad smell, our blanket and pillows are not brand-new, but certainly not old and we change linen every day!

We are really sorry you did not like our hotel and that probably you won't come back, we however cheer up, seen that we have a very significant number of regular Guests, which come back many times in a month for business to our hotel and enjoy their stay!

Best regardsPaolo Mazzoni - General Manager
